Remote Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner

The Role: What you will do?
**Here at Vita Minds, we're building a new central team of mental health professionals**

We are bringing together a talented team of Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners with broad skills, flexible attitude, and the ability to embrace change and test innovative working styles. All this, and with a laser-like focus on patient care.

Working remotely or from any of our hubs, and part of a close-knit unit, the central team will provide support to patients using our Talking Therapies service in the NHS districts we serve across the UK.

**Is this for you?**

You will provide low intensity CBT interventions to clients with common mental health disorders via telephone assessments, online webinars, and computerised CBT (CCBT).

No day will be the same. Variety is important and you will assist patients suited to your experience and interests from all over the UK. You will also have the opportunity to support new projects, shape delivery of care and input ideas into our service.

We encourage an open and collaborative workplace where opportunities to shine are just around the corner.

**What’s the Deal?**

We are looking for people who will embrace change and help us test the innovations we have planned. In recognition of this we are paying beyond normal NHS pay scales with the ability to qualify for further incentives.

This is a permanent contract and we can offer excellent flexibility with part and full-time hours available, evening shifts and term-time only working.

You will receive support for professional development, ongoing supervision and a supportive environment focussed on wellbeing. As part of a large fast-growing healthcare organisation, you will also have the opportunity to rapidly advance your career both clinically and into management and leadership.

**About You**

Each PWP brings their own unique skills, background, and experiences to their practice. Alongside this, we are also looking for:

- A Graduate/Postgraduate Certificate in Low Intensity Interventions (Adults)
- 6 months post-qualified experience
- BABCP or BPS Registration
- Evidence of working with people who have experienced a mental health problem
- Experience of using Computerised CBT (CCBT)
- An awareness of and commitment to supporting and facilitating diversity and inclusion

You will have a desire to deliver exceptional, patient-centred care and an eagerness to contribute ideas, energy and insights into how we shape the delivery of our service. Approved IAPT supervision training and experience of agile working would also be great to see.

If this sounds like the right fit for you, we look forward to welcoming you to the team
